In a dynamic partnership, ANZ India and Smile Foundation are reshaping economic opportunities for women and adolescent girls. The initiative focuses on imbibing financial literacy among adolescent girls and women in underserved communities, equipping them with knowledge and skills to manage their finances effectively. By providing targeted business skills training, the project empowers these women to launch their own enterprises— paving the way for sustainable income generation.
Moreover, this effort taps into existing government schemes to build a solid foundation for long-term success and impact. As part of its ambitious goals, the project aims to establish 30 model self and group enterprises, setting a benchmark for future entrepreneurial endeavours.
Through these concerted efforts, ANZ India and Smile Foundation are teaching financial skills and inspiring a movement towards economic empowerment and self-sufficiency.
